Autumn
Autumn in Ruka-Kuusamo is bursting with colours and adventures
During the autumn holiday, you can experience the best of both worlds, summer and winter: the slopes and ski trails of Ruka, mountain biking, hiking and rafting, too, if everything works out perfectly!
Five national parks within reach
The five national parks in the area are all distinctive and unique. Oulanka has great river valleys, Riisitunturi’s fell scenery is the Lapland you know from photographs, Hossa has ridges with pines and clear ponds whereas Syöte boasts great trails softened with pine and spruce needles for mountain biking.
When you head towards the Russian border, you will come across the vast wilderness of Paanajärvi National Park.
Colours on land, in water, on air
Double aurora, or the northern lights reflecting on a calm water surface, is on the wish list of many tourists who have travelled a long way to see it. This experience is possible on the shores of lakes or ponds in Kuusamo in August–November.
In September you can also enjoy the colourful sceneries during the daytime when autumn colours (foliage) covers the ground and the trees.
Relaxing the body and the mind
Lovely treatments and relaxing experiences help you recover from busy daily life and make your holiday that much sweeter. Why not try a smoke sauna, enjoy a hot stone massage or surprise yourself with reindeer yoga?
